You did first decode the video with ProjectX. An than mpeg2enc did encode 174 Frames twice. And 2nd mplex ends with: MUX STATUS: Frame data under-runs detected! That means that you have a to high bitrate (and the stream it to short to get usefull statistices. So try to lower the birtrate and/or quality. auf hoffentlich bald, Berni the Chaos of Woodquarter Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gz/bernhard - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

From my guess you use a bttv based card ? If you use a bttv based card, you need to use a command like that: lavrec -f a -i p -g 352x288 -q 80 -R l --software-encoding test.avi The important things for a bttv card are the -g and --software-encoding options. You might encounter problems with the audio, for testing purposes you can disable it with -a 0. The -i option works different on a bttv based card. -i p means the 1st Bt8x8 input. Take a look at the lavrec for more info. streamer can also create mjpeg encoded AVI's. auf hoffentlich bald, Berni the Chaos of Woodquarter Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gz/bernhard - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Mjpeg-users] Problems running lavrec
Dear All, I'm having trouble running lavrec, copy of the script I am using is below: #!/bin/sh v4lctl setinput Composite2 v4lctl contrast 50 v4lctl bright 100 # export LAV_VIDEO_DEV="/dev/v4l/video0" export LAV_AUDIO_DEV="/dev/sound/dsp" export LAV_MIXER_DEV="/dev/sound/mixer" #lavrec -f a -g 720x576 --stereo -R m raw.avi lavrec --format=a --input=p --quality=80 --decimation=2 raw.avi Unfortunately it does not work - the output I get is: ++ WARN: [lavrec] Unable to set negative priority for audio thread. ++ WARN: [lavrec] Pthread Real-time scheduling for audio thread could not be enabled. **ERROR: [lavrec] Error getting video parameters: Invalid argument **ERROR: [lavrec] Something went wrong while setting up the card Any ideas? Just to note for reference, streamer from xawtv seems to work, so I would not think it was a v4l issue. Albeit I'm having issues that it uses far too much disk space when saving to raw video and I'm having issues when it saves to a compressed format with it maxing the CPU and eventually failing.
